My Little Star

You’re something like a bright star, shining bright above the world while everyone sleeps. I stayed up every night, admiring your glow, wishing I could be as bright as you. I looked at you, shining brilliantly, and couldn’t help but feel proud. Not even the sun, beating down on the earth, could outshine you. You are the light that illuminates my world, my own little star. Every night I knew morning would come, yet I never thought so soon. Now that it’s morning and I no longer have my star, my world is dim and dark. Even though the darkness scares me, I know that morning can’t last forever, and soon I’ll see my little star once again.

    You’re something like a favorite song. A song someone loves so much that they’ll sit in their room for hours just listening to this one song.

  • Two Souls.

    Us. Our two souls, separated for years upon years, then collided out of nowhere. Without a second thought, I began talking to you. Something ignited in me. Something like the flame of a match in a dark room.

  • Soar

    No matter where I am, the guilt follows me. The guilt of my past decisions, the guilt of the people left behind. The weighed down feeling of all the mistakes in my past. Knowing I can't go back and change it is the hardest.
